Once again it’s been awhile since I’ve posted in here. Like always I’ll try to make a pleasant mix of TL/DR and lots of huge pictures.
Firstly, GamerNick…….sigh, leave some games for the rest of us man. Has everyone else seen all the stuff he’s been getting? Didn’t he like buy out a store or something? Anyways, liked the Atari and GG boxes, the Xonox stuff especially.
The PowerLords was awesome. I only have the cart and manual, finding it CIB is great! Don’t know if you have Atlantis for the O^2 yet, it can be a pain. Powerlords sells for the most and people say it’s the rarest but at least it’s available for sale nearly always. Atlantis is almost never for sale anywhere, there was a yearlong period when I was looking for it when it didn’t show up on ebay.
Even with all that Sauza found lately, he wasn’t able to keep up with you……or Zagnorch, them two combined actually. You are at least leaving some Call of Duties and MLB 2006s for us aren’t you?

MetalFRO keeps finding all these GB games, so that's pretty awesome. This has got to be one of the biggest groups of them I’ve seen in one post in this thread, not to mention all the others he found lately. At least you’re limiting yourself to only buying all the Gameboy games in existence unlike GamerNick who is buying all of everything
And the PSP games, that is a way better selection of them then I ever come across.
Continuing with the making this post, extra-long-by-talking-about-everyone-else-before-I-even-get-to-my-stuff….
Zag found a RealFlight controller/sim/game, more on that later….
Hey now,

And at some point….
There were 2 versions of that Coleco handheld. The Head to head one and a single player one……
Because.…

All right, back to you...
I have a boxed Coleco thingy too, although the controller looks similar, the box is nothing like that. But, I did see a stand alone Controller in a thrift store today that looked exactly like yours oddly enough.
Zag also found some early Nintendo Powers, while I am jelly
1 about the Fan Club News, I would like to point out that I wrote a blog about how a letter I wrote as a kid was featured in that Track & Field issue of NP, the one with the rocket shoes. I would like to post the link to it (my blog) here but at some point, some of the images got down-rezzed, and they are now too small to be readable, which is important to that story. I really need to go back and re-do those images….

This stuff is cool, I just wanted to point that out:
Last week's finds:
SEGA Game Gear Carry pac
This was awesome to find. I think it's never been used! It even has the tag on it!

Crabmaster found a SS and a Game&Pocket, Redd found some rock’n CD-I stuff and Piles got that Mega Man CIB….
Honestly, at this point I wonder whether I should save this post until the next page of the small scores thread. I mean, page 84 is already pretty long and this post would make it really long, hmmmm….
2Remember back when I said we would get to RealFlight stuff again? Well, Mr Zagnorch sent me a very awesome NSSS Christmas gift,
in late February. To his credit, he did know it was February, hence the Valentine’s Day card, it changes to 3 different images!

Without posting a quote from that post too, I got one of these a while back, CIB. Mine was gameport though, and while I have machines that would run it, they are put up in nice stacks on shelves in the garage (oh, to have a bigger house) Zag sent me a nice USB one….

RealFlight controllers go along with a simulator/game. It helps you to learn to fly RC planes. The simulation is pretty good. Since when you fly a real RC plane you are standing in one spot, using a controller to remotely interact with something in the distance, much like a video game. This lets you get used to flying a RC plane without the worry of smashing up your multi-hundred-$ investment on a hard landing. The controllers are fairly accurate to the real ones. They are made by Futaba, which makes real controllers for real RC planes. I actually have one of them so you can see the similarity here, at least between these two models:

Moving on….
I don’t post pictures of every RETRO magazine I get, but when I do it’s of ones I really like the cover art of:

Family member gave me cool gift. GBA stuffs! The game boxes might be the first GBA boxes I own and they are super nice. I’ve been playing Super Mario right before bed almost every night now. Who knew you could play games in bed?

Thrift Store finds:
Probably have Starcraft already, but you know, future lan parties. LotR game and VHS movie! (big LotR fans here) Thrift store prices on all this, so a few dollars total:

I know you guys aren’t really Steam fans, but you know, they are kinda still video games.
Got Cities Skylines, Miscreated and Sanctuary RPG Black Edition on a recent sale.
Skylines because I always have said if I had to answer the “stranded on a desert island” question, Simcity 4 would be my game to take. I have high hopes Skylines will change that.
Miscreated is an early access, FPS, survival, crafting, many-multi-player game. I have a few friends playing it all the time right now and I wanted to have something to play with them.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/299740/Sanctuary RPG Black Edition. If you have a hankering to play a current day riff on the old BBS style rouge/ascii/fantasy/adventure game, shoot, this is it. It looks fantastic in the little I’ve played so far, and is on sale again for $2 until the 29th
http://store.steampowered.com/app/328760/Bejewelled 3 is
not something I just bought, it's just there in this shot because my wife just discovered we have it. She has been playing it like crazy.

And because I need more Steam games, I was sent this for my one-year-older-day:
[img width=700 height=539]https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1666/24554204584_2c52656875_b.jpg[/img]
Clearly, I
need more Steam games:

While I’ve been taking notes to make this post, we went to another thrift, less than $7 even with a book I didn't show,

Civ V is a maybe gift, I am thinking it’s unlikely to work as it DRM’s through Steam. But even if it doesn’t, the instructions, box and tech-tree chart will make nice additions to our own copy, it is one of my wife’s favorite games after all. The minigolf game turned out to be without disc! Everything else was taped shut at the store so I didn’t think to check this one, it wasn’t taped and is without the game! The 4 channel mixer isn’t a gaming thing per se, but I might use it to hook up more game systems? The parallel port to USB is gaming related because:

2 Whatevas, you all got bandwidth don’t ya?
